The Rio Grande Association only lasted for the one season. Surprisingly, Douglas
wouldn't see professional baseball again for 35 years. Douglas' sister city, beautiful
Bisbee Arizona (25 miles to the west) meanwhile, began featuring professional
baseball on a semi-regular basis starting in 1928. The two towns would never
become rivals, as Douglas and Bisbee never hosted teams in the same professional
league. They would however, share a team for nearly a decade.
